Nervous System II Flashcards
Involuntary response to a stimulus
Reflex ACT
Conducting pathway of response
Reflect ARC
Components of Reflex
Receptor Afferent neuron (sensory neuron) Interneurons Effector Neuron (motor neuron) Effector Organ
2 Types of Reflex
Somatic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System
Often time voluntary
reflexes in the Skeletal Muscles
Somatic Nervous Sytem
Often times involuntary
involves the activity of smooth muscles, heart and glands
Autonomic
T or F
there are 2 types of Autonomic Nervous System?
True
Sympathetic ( fight or flight)
Parasympathetic (rest or digest)
T or F
there are 4 subdivisions of Nervous System
False, only 2
Central Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous System
Integration and Command Center of the Nervous System
CNS
consist of nerves from brain and spinal cord
PNS
2 Organizations of Nervous Tissue
Gray Matter and White Matter
What do you call the spaces of the brain?
Ventricles (3rd and 4th)
T or F
in the BRAIN, gray matter is found in the center while the white matter is found on the outer
False, Spinal Cord yon
T or F
in the Spinal Cord, white matter is found in the outer and gray matter on the center
True
T or F
In the Spinal Cord, gray matter is found in the outer and white matter on the center
False, Brain yon
T or F
In the Brain, white matter is found in the center and gray mater on the outer
True
Cortex of the brain
Nuclei in the brain
Ganglia in the PNS
Gray matter - neurons without myelin sheath
Nerves in the PNS
Nerve tracts in CNS
White Matter- with myelin sheath
3 coverings of Brain and Spinal Cord
Vertebral Column (in Spinal Cord)
Skull and Cranial Nerves ( in Brain)
Meninges
inner membrane covering of Brain and Spinal cord
Meninges
3 layers of Meninges
Dura Matter ( dense fibrous tissue) Arachnoid ( serous membrane) Pia Matter (vascular membrane)
clear, colorless fluid found in ventricles of brain SUBARACHNOID Space and Central Canal
PROTECTIVE CUSHION: Shock Absorber
Cerebrospinal Fluid
pathway for exchange of nutrients
where does CSF forms and drains?
Choroid Plexus in brain
Normal Volume of CSF?
100-200ml
